Walter grumbled, clearly annoyed.
“Come on, you wake up to someone staring you down and you’re telling me you wouldn’t freak out?” Evangeline was fuming. Not only was Walter not owning up to his odd behaviors, but he was also calling her out for being jumpy!
“If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to fear, right? What’s so scary about a little stare?” Walter retorted nonchalantly, but then he casually let his bathrobe fall open in front of Evangeline.
“Evangeline, I need a good explanation for this!”
Evangeline was about to shield her eyes from Walter, the flasher, but his words stopped her cold. She had to see what he was getting at
Pointing a finger at the marks on his tempting neck, Walter did not mince words, “What’s the story with these marks? You know exactly what I’m talking about, don’t you? I was with you the whole night, so I think you owe me some answers about what you did when I was out cold last night!”
Evangeline’s eyes widened as she followed the direction of the pointed finger. The mark was a bit fuzzy around the edges, but the center was a deep, unmistakable pink, silently stamped on Walter’s skin, hinting at something more than friendly.
The image of Walter, the center of attention at the bar, flashed through her mind. Her initial shock quickly turned into a wave of scorn. “What have I done to you? Walter, before you start accusing, maybe take a long, hard look in the mirror. Do you really think you’ve got one of those drop–dead gorgeous faces that girls just can’t resist?”
Walter’s eyebrows danced upwards with pride. “Are you saying my face… Isn’t exactly that?”
He paused, a tease in his voice, and Evangeline could not help but get caught up in the thought. Admittingly, there was something about Walter’s face that was downright magnetic. His words were like a featherweight boxer knocking out a heavyweight, and Evangeline felt a pang of defeat. But she was not about to give up.
“Sure, you’re handsome. But that doesn’t mean I’d ever fall for you!”
Walter, completely ignoring Evangeline’s feelings, went straight for the jugular. “Then who was the one who was so desperate to marry me?”
“Alright, alright.” Evangeline realized she was no match for Walter in this argument and decided to just let it all out. “Yes, I was the one who wanted to marry you, but that was then!
“Me, now? I couldn’t care less about you. Why would I ever do something like that?”
The thought of stealing a kiss from a sleeping Walter popped into her head, and a twinge of regret hit her. She had the perfect chance last night, so why did she not go for it?
“So what’s the deal with this…?”
Walter was sure Evangeline was the type to hit and run or ‘act first, deny later. So he played it cool, waiting for her to trip up and reveal her true colors.

Evangeline was not having any of it. She glared at him frostily and said, “Mr. Walter Gordon, did last night’s party slip your mind? Caden’s such a loyal friend, isn’t he? He didn’t know your type, so he invited a whole lineup–every shape and size–just for you to pick and choose. And when you got too wasted to handle it, who do you think he called? Me.”
Meanwhile, Caden, chilling at home, felt his nose twitch.
Was Evangeline bad–mouthing him?
He only called those girls over because he could not say no to Walter. He would swear on the stars that he was not trying to get Walter to chase skirts!
If that was his plan, why bother calling Evangeline to fetch Walter? He would have just let the night roll on without him.
